About the book
In suburban America, a stay-at-home mother unravels as isolation pushes her towards a shocking transformation.
Once an ambitious artist, the mother now spends her days caring for her young son while her husband travels for work. As her exhaustion and resentment build, she notices new instincts, new appetites, and a destabilising shift in her sense of self.
What begins as doubt hardens into something wilder. Her body changes. Her desires sharpen. In embracing the persona of ‘Nightbitch’ she confronts domestic confinement, creative frustration and the cultural expectations placed on women.
Blending the surreal with the intimate, this powerful novel of transformation and self-reclamation examines what is lost and what might be found when a woman refuses to remain obedient, grateful, and small.
